AI agent for product managers
Feature Request Prioritization Agent
A ranked, evidence-based backlog ready for planning
What it does
Requests arrive daily from sales, support and customers, and backlog priority often follows the loudest customer. This agent gathers requests, merges duplicates and links each to the customers and revenue behind it. Two requests that sound different but solve the same problem are proposed for merging. It applies the team's scoring method, such as reach, impact, confidence and effort, using real data where possible. When a score depends on a guess like effort, it asks the engineering lead for an estimate. It checks the ranked list for sense: if one big customer pushes a request to the top on a single factor, it flags it for discussion. The product manager approves the ranked list.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Planning cycle approaches
- Collect requests from sales, support and feedback tools
- Merge duplicates and link customers and revenue
- Request effort estimates for unscored items
- Score and rank requests
- Is any top-10 item driven by a single customer or factor?If not: flag for discussion and show the score without that factor. Back to step 5.
- Product manager approves the ranked listThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Ranked backlog in the planning tool
How it decides
It scores requests with the team's formula using linked evidence and flags any top item driven by one factor or one customer.
- Duplicates merged when they solve the same user problem
- Confidence lowered when evidence is one customer
- Missing effort estimates block a final score
